50 greatest goals against England

I'm currently watching the 50 greatest goals scored by England (on Sky 1), and I feel like an unwanted guest. With that in mind, let's come up with the 50 greatest goals scored against England. I'll start off with five (in no particular order, so far):

1. Diego Maradona, Argentina ('Hand of God', Mexico '86)
2. Diego Maradona, Argentina (the other one weaving his way from the half way line, Mexico '86)
3. Niall Quinn, Rep. Ireland (Equaliser at Wembly, Euro '92 qualifiers)
4. Ray Houghtan, Rep Ireland (Stuttgart '88)
5. Davide Gualtieri, San Marino (Scored after 7 seconds, WC' 94 qualifier)
6. ...

Both of Zidane's goals in ball-breaking injury time in euro 2004, the fact that the poor soul boked before he took the penalty..... :eek: :p :p :D

11. Gerd Muller (Der Bomber) West Germany, World Cup 1972, Mexico (scored in extra time for Germans to win 3-2 and sent the cnuts home)

12: Moellers (sp?) winning spot kick against them in the Euro 96 shoot out. More a fave for his arrogant strutting celebration to leave the "three lions" brigade in tears. Stand up Frank Skinner!!!

13. Ferenc Puskas : England 3 - 6 Hungary (Friendly, Wembley 1953)
The third goal, scored by Puskas, had them completely bewildered as he changed direction by rolling the ball back with the sole of his feet, swivelled and hit the ball past the hapless goalkeeper, Birmingham City's Gil Merrick.

14. Hallvar Thoresen: Norway 2-1 England (World Cup Qualifier, Ullevål Stadion, Oslo)
The goal which prompted the famous "Maggie Thatcher" match summary from NRK Radio commentator Bjørge Lillelien.

15. Ronaldinho in World Cup 2002, Seaman watching it going over his head thinking "I never thought that would happen again...."

16. Ronald Koeman's free kick for Holland that stopped them qualifying for the 94 World Cup.

Remember Motson... "He's going to flick it, he's going to FLICK IT!!!"

17. David Kelly - Lansdowne - 1995

18. Jim Baxter (Scotland, Home International Championships) - 1967

Šhakiri's corner kick against Seaman in was it the 2002 WC qualifiers?

20 & 21 the two goals scored in Goodison in 1949
22 Terry Neill's goal for Northern Ireland v England at Wembley 1972

Was a cracker indeed............ :D :p :ball:

That Salas goal for Chile on Owen's debut before the World Cup in 98.

24: Ganeas 88th minute peno for Romania to knock them out of Euro 2000. They only needed the draw to progress to the knockout phase. 3-2 Romania....nice!!

We're such a pack of vultures....... :D :D

25 - Ricardo's penalty to send them out of Euro 2004

26 - Urs Meier - England vs. Portugal - Euro 2004

Did Alexandersson of Sweden score a cracker against them in WC 2002 to equalise from a Sol Campbell opener?

Don't know if it's in already but the San Marino fella who lacthed on to Stuart Pearces back pass and scored in the first few seconds.England needed to win by 7 clear goals to qualify,They won 7-1.
